M-PLAS to Serve Advancing Technology Needs of the Plastic & Rubber Sectors


M-PLAS will return to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre 4 - 7 November 2009 at a time coinciding with a continuing shift in the country's plastics and rubber processing sectors that emphasizes higher value addition.  Faced with ever-intensifying competition from regional and global competitors, the country's processing sector is committed to climbing the technology tree to survive and prosper.

This trend is confirmed by recent survey by UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, that indicates Malaysia is now ranked among the top five nations out of 55 leading economies when it comes to high-technology exports as a percentage of overall exports and this tendency looks set to continue.  The end result for suppliers of high-end processing machinery and materials is that their products will be in strong demand in coming years, hence the importance of a solid presence at M-PLAS 2009, which has established itself as a trusted and proven forum for networking and transacting business with the local industry.
